Regarding this mysterious PUO-32, I didn't finish with it, but basically it was used for measuring distances and angles on the map to pin targets located from observation posts or to determine firing data. The instrument had a pantograph attached to a map (chart), a circle with scale in mils and a ruler (straightedge on the picture posted) were attached to a pantograph's triangle. The circle was used to measure or draw angles, the ruler - to measure distances or range settings. The right edge of the ruler had a scale graduated in kilometers and seconds (relative to the speed of sound, for cases when a time span between the flash and a sound of burst was measured). The ruler's face had a set of diagonal lines for ΔX measurement. A slide could be moved along the ruler, the outer edge of pointer was set on a target, for example. Distance in kilometers (second) was read from position marked by slide's outer edge on the ruler's scale. The slide also had to marks near its outer edge. One corresponded to ΔX=50 meters, the other to ΔX=140 feet=42,7 meters (used in old pre-metric gunsights). The reading from a diagonal line closest to the mark was the range in ΔX, that range settings could be commanded to the firing position. There were graphical firing table used for corrections, but I haven't understand how it worked yet. The instrument could be used for transfer of fire from a check point by K-transfer. For that the ruler and slide's pointer were set on the check point first. A mark was made on a slide using a pencil, for example, opposite to the diagonal line corresponding the range found by registration. That the ruler with the pointer was set on the target to be engaged. Range was read from a diagonal line opposite to the mark made and commanded to guns.

The instrument was to be used with a small piece of dense paper (called "passport") attached to the map under the pantograph. Pivot of the pantograph was placed successively on observation points and firing positions marked on the map and they were pinned (literally) on the passport with a pantograph pin, that was made to quickly setruler's zero on needed OP of firing position. Apparently using the instrument required accurate enough positioning of observation points and firing positions on the map from survey data. ...

Das indirekte Richten der schweren Maschinengewehre - Indirect Aiming of the heavy Machinegun. We all knew the MGZ and MGZ 40 telescopic sights could do a lot more than just aim at the target. This manual explains the need for the telescopic sight to pivot fully around and how that is used for indirect fire. It's not specifically written as an MGZ manual, but a lot of questions are answered about the extra capabilities the lafette mounted scopes have.

This manual also gives some detail about how to set up the searching fire mechanism, how the aiming circle is used and set up, how to use the measuring triangle (the complicated aluminum double disk device with extended legs) for plotting, aiming stakes, and the deckungswinkelmesser (cover slope measurer).

The most interesting moment was when I realized how the meßdreieck (aluminum measuring triangle) actually works. What a neat piece of equipment: Algebra can be used to find the length of the other two sides of a triangle if you know the length of one side and two angles. I used to do that in my high school math class. The measuring triangle is a triangulation slide rule, made for determining the distance to the target for precise ranging by using an aiming circle and an MGZ to determine two angles, and measuring one side by stepping it off or using the distance measurer. About 8.5" H x 7" W. As the manual lays open, the left page has two descriptions which are associated with the two illustrations on the right page. There are 86 illustrations. 92 pages total.

En. text: The hurdy-gurdy is a stringed instrument that produces sound by a hand crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin. Melodies are played on a keyboard that presses tangents—small wedges, typically made of wood—against one or more of the strings to change their pitch. Like most other acoustic stringed instruments, it has a sound board and hollow cavity to make the vibration of the strings audible.

Most hurdy-gurdies have multiple drone strings, which give a constant pitch accompaniment to the melody, resulting in a sound similar to that of bagpipes. For this reason, the hurdy-gurdy is often used interchangeably or along with bagpipes, particularly in Occitan, Catalan, Cajun French and contemporary Asturian, Cantabric, Galician, and Hungarian folk music.

Many folk music festivals in Europe feature music groups with hurdy-gurdy players. The most famous has been held since 1976 at Saint-Chartier in the Indre département in Central France. In 2009, it relocated nearby to the Château d'Ars at La Châtre, where it continues to take place during the week nearest July 14 (Bastille Day). ...

sic message gleaned from these trips was that although the over-all state of training of artillery personnel assigned to Vietnam was excellent, increased Vietnam-oriented training was required. Specifically, it was determined that increased emphasis was necessary in 6,400-mil fire direction center procedures; counterguerrilla reconnaissance, selection, and occupation of position training; and fire support coordination responsibilities at all levels, particularly those of the artillery liaison officer.

By mid-1967, the Artillery School had begun to make significant progress in implementing changes in instructional programs to satisfy Vietnam requirements. A field artillery officer's Vietnam orientation course (FAOVOC) was instituted in July 1967. Four to five weeks long, the course concentrated solely on tactics and techniques used in Vietnam. In fiscal year 1968, 239 officers completed the course; in fiscal year 1969, over 1,000. The course was offered in addition to the officer basic schooling and was designed better to prepare officers for Vietnam service. The officer basic course was increased from 9 to 12 weeks, and the Artillery Officer Candidate School enrollment increased from 3,000 in fiscal year 1966 to 9,600

The museum’s FADAC is the only one remaining in existence. At some point in time, after I had left the Army, all of the FADACs were rounded up by the U.S. Department of Energy and disposed of as HAZARDOUS WASTE because of the use of radium (a radioactive element) on the dials. So, in addition to Agent Orange and god knows what else, I have also been exposed to ionizing radiation. Hopefully, in such small amounts as to cause no harm.

After leaving the museum we drove to the Food Court (open to civilians) at the main PX. There were about half a dozen fast food outlets and several shops at the entrance to the PX. It was similar to a shopping mall with the PX being one of the mall’s anchor stores. There was nothing like this in 1969. But I do remember walking to a much smaller PX with my buddies, sitting at a picnic table in the beer garden, and drinking from quart bottles of Coors Beer (3.2% military) under the cottonwoods in the afternoon after classes. In some respects I miss that. After all, it was my youth, and it completely changed my life.
